After confirming that Ruan Qingan and Zhou Ziqi were asleep, Lin Da tiptoed up, quickly walked around them, and went to the shelves behind the small supermarket.
After searching carefully for about ten minutes, Lin Da squatted down again in front of Li Dongmei and Zhang Si and nudged them.
Lin Da's tone was extremely unpleasant: "Everything is gone."
"What?"
Zhang Si spoke in a low voice, and Li Dongmei, who was standing next to him, also looked over.
There was no sign of sleepiness in their eyes; they were clearly pretending to be asleep, waiting for this moment to take action. Although they were arguing, they were still a small group—one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop.
At this moment, Lin Da said with a livid face, "I have already checked. This lousy supermarket has been searched clean. There is nothing left. Everything is unusable and expired or rotten."
"This is troublesome..."
Li Dongmei couldn't help but feel a headache.
Zhang Si lowered his voice and said, "That shouldn't be the case. There's hardly anyone here. Could it be that they—"
Before he could finish speaking, all three of them instinctively turned their gazes toward the sleeping Zhou Ziqi and Ruan Qing'an, and could vaguely see the bulging backpacks hidden behind the blanket.
A glint of greed flashed in the eyes of all three.
Zhang Si whispered, "I thought they were just passing through, but since the supermarket is out of stock, it seems they're there."
"Let's leave as soon as possible while they're sleeping."
Li Dongmei made a quick decision and gestured to Zhang Si.
The three of them had worked together many times. Zhang Si was a speed-type ability user, so he was best at sneaking around. Lin Da was a strength-type ability user, so he was responsible for fighting, using force, and stealing things.
As for Li Dongmei, she was responsible for lowering people's guard and deliberately feigning weakness to set up honey traps, which resulted in the deaths of many people.
Zhang Si immediately understood what she meant. When his speed-type ability was activated, he became as light as a swallow, like a gust of wind. His ability was not strong to begin with, and he did not develop offensive capabilities, so his speed was increased considerably as a compensation.
He quietly climbed over the cashier and came up behind Ruan Qing'an and the others.
Just as Zhang Si was cautiously trying to steal the bag, he felt as if there was a gaze watching him from behind.
Zhang Si turned around, while Zhou Ziqi behind him still kept his eyes closed.
What the hell is going on...?
Before he could figure it out, Li Dongmei outside the cashier urged him in a low voice, "Hurry up, don't delay!"
Zhang Si didn't dare to answer, he just nodded and went to get his bag again.
After he turned his back, in the darkness, Zhou Ziqi slowly opened his eyes. His upturned phoenix eyes lightly swept over Zhang Si and Ruan Qing'an, who had his eyes closed, and he sneered.
The small scalpel twirled between his fingers and disappeared behind him.
Zhang Si's hand was already reaching for the bag. After discovering that the two sleeping people had not been disturbed, a hint of smugness appeared on his face.
These two were cautious before, but they still haven't discovered him, have they?
Little did they know, at this moment, Ruan Qing'an, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, was thinking...
037 Live Update: [He moved forward five centimeters!]
Ruan Qingan and Zhou Ziqi, who were "asleep": ...
Tsk, they're all pretending to be deaf and dumb, yet they're still taking so long to steal?
037: [Ancestor, didn't the male lead notice?]
"I don't even believe that bastard. How could he possibly be sleeping when there are other people around? He probably found out a long time ago."
Ruan Qing'an rolled his eyes to himself.
She even suspected that Zhou Ziqi was trying to scam people, and that she, the untrusted bodyguard, might be among those scammed.
037: [So, ancestor, what do you want to see the male lead do?]
Ruan Qing'an hummed in agreement and continued to sleep.
Meanwhile, Zhang Si, who thought he hadn't been discovered, accomplished a great feat of openly stealing things right under the noses of the person involved.
The moment Zhang Si got the bag, he immediately gave Li Dongmei a hand signal.
Li Dongmei immediately replied, "Okay, let's go right away."
"Wait a moment--"
Lin Da suddenly interrupted her: "Since Zhang Si wasn't discovered by them, it means these two aren't very strong. That woman's knife must have been picked up and she doesn't know how to use it. I want her knife."
"Don't go, lest they wake up!"
Li Dongmei instinctively tried to stop her.
But Lin Da had already taken a few steps forward, grinning maliciously: "If she's not awake, then we'll steal from her. If she is awake... heh, then we'll kill her and take it!"
As they were talking, Lin Da had already reached Ruan Qing'an's side. Zhang Si, who was holding a bag, glared at him angrily, but Lin Da had already greedily reached for the Tang sword in Ruan Qing'an's arms.
Just as he was about to grasp the hilt of the knife—
"Taking the supplies wasn't enough; they also wanted to take a knife."
A voice suddenly rang out, and before Lin Da could even react, Ruan Qing'an, who had been pretending to be asleep while controlling his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes, gripped the Tang sword in his backhand, and slashed out with the sword.
A long knife wound suddenly appeared on Lin Da's body, deep enough to expose the bone.
He stumbled back several steps, trembling with pain, but Ruan Qing'an showed no sign of stopping. She was still sitting on the ground, but now she propped herself up with one hand and leaped up with her petite yet agile body.
He actually kicked Zhang Si sideways, sending him crashing into the wall!
At that moment, Zhou Ziqi, looking as if he had just woken up, opened his eyes and happened to see Ruan Qing'an's sports jacket slipping up, revealing his fair, supple, and aesthetically pleasing abs.
Zhou Ziqi chuckled and said, "Little Ruan has a nice figure."
"...Boss, I'm in a fight."
"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ruan."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Qing'an couldn't help but sigh. This scoundrel was as heartless as ever. She picked up a knife and walked up to Zhang Si.
Because of the side kick, Zhang Si felt like his waist no longer belonged to him, as if his bones were about to break. He was lying on the ground, struggling to move.
As Ruan Qing'an approached, before Zhang Si could even get up to resist, the tip of the Tang sword was already firmly embedded between his legs, slicing through half of the blade as easily as cutting tofu. Just looking at it, you could tell how sharp it was, and...
How painful it is when it gets stuck in your skin.
Zhang Si looked at the Tang sword stuck in the ground between his legs, swallowed hard, and silently picked up the bag and handed it to Ruan Qing'an.
"I'm giving it back to you..."
"roll."
Ruan Qingan took the bag and then put away the knife.
Hearing her blunt words, Zhang Si dared not pause any longer, fearing that Ruan Qing'an would kill him with a knife, and scrambled out of the cashier area.
Ruan Qing'an tidied his bag and turned to pull Zhou Ziqi away when the ground suddenly shook.
It turned out to be Lin Da, who had just been slashed back by her and still had a knife wound on his chest. His strength-type superpower was pushed to the limit, and the muscles all over his body bulged up again, tearing his clothes.
He charged forward like an enraged bear!
